Time to get up, man.
2
-All right, Dad.
-Come on.
3
Should be here soon.
4
-I think I should make a list.
-What do mean?
5
-For your birthday gifts?
-Yeah.
6
You know you're only getting
a couple of things, right?
7
Yeah, I know. Just to look at
and study so I can choose better.
8
Okay, well, that's smart.
Yeah, make a list.
9
Can you spell everything
you're thinking of?
10
-I think so.
-All right. That's good.
11
-How you doing in here, man?
-Okay.
12
Can we go to the park today, after?
13
No, I gotta go to Oakland.
Well, maybe, we'll see.
14
Give me a kiss.
15
I'll talk to you later.
16
Excuse me.
17
Oh, excuse me...
18
...when is somebody
gonna clean this off?
19
And the Y?
The Y. We talked about this.
20
It's an I in "happiness."
There's no Y in "happiness." It's an l.
21
I'm Chris Gardner.
22
I met my father for the first time
when I was 28 years old.
23
And I made up my mind
as a young kid...
24
...that when I had children...
25
...my children were gonna know
who their father was.
26
This is part of my life story.
27
This part is called "Riding the Bus. "
28
What's that?
29
It's a time machine, isn't it?
30
Seems like a time machine.
31
That seems like a time machine.
It's a time machine. Take me with you.
32
This machine...
33
...this machine on my lap--
34
This guy, he has a time machine.
35
He travels in the past
with this machine and....
36
--it is not a time machine.
37
It's a portable
bone-density scanner.
38
A medical device1 I sell for a living.
39
Thank you for the opportunity
to discuss it with you.
40
-I appreciate it.
-We just don't need it, Chris.
41
It's unnecessary2 and expensive.
42
-Well, maybe next--
-Thank you.
43
It gave a slightly denser3 picture
than an x-ray for twice the money.
44
-Hey.
-Hey, baby.
45
-What happened?
-No, nothing.
46
Look, I can't get Christopher today.
47
Oh, no, you don't, Chris.
I'm back on at 7.
48
I know. I have got to go to Oakland.
49
So I gotta get Christopher home,
feed him, bathe him...
50
...get him in bed,
and be back here by 7?
